It’s usually typical for us to take medications and store them using adherence packaging/ pill packing in New York when diagnosed with a specific health condition. However, what happens next after you empty your medicine bottles or when they reach their expiration date?
It’s not a good idea to keep unneeded prescription medications you purchased from your local independent pharmacy lying around your home since they could negatively impact the people or animals in your home.
Any unneeded medication must be disposed of properly to stop unintentional intake by animals or people. In addition, disposing of your prescriptions in the trash or flushing them down the toilet (unless specifically instructed) can harm the environment.
As a pharmacy, which can also provide you with your needed medical supply in Troy, New York, we recommend bringing your expired medications to a DEA-registered drug collection center for the easiest way to get rid of most unused medicines. Trained handlers can safely dispose of them there.
Disposing of some medical equipment, such as needles and syringes, can help avoid injuries to others. You should contact your local hospital and garbage collection services to learn what services are offered and whether there are any fees.
Lindsay Drug Co., Inc. welcomes our customers to visit us whenever they need a safe way to throw their old medications because it’s safe to dispose of pharmaceuticals at a drug disposal facility.
We also provide other pharmaceutical services, such as immunizations, selling and renting durable medical equipment (DME), medication synchronization, and more. Feel free to reach our pharmacy on our contact lines for more information about our available services!
